The Soaltee Kathmandu partners with Gham Power Nepal for greener future

KATHMANDU: The Soaltee Kathmandu partnered with Gham Power Nepal to fit a 506-kilowatt solar power system on the hotel's rooftops and parking area. This initiative is set to replace 196 kilolitres of diesel and cut carbon emissions by 995 tonnes over the next 15 years. 

Not only will the installation result in considerable savings on electricity bills for the luxurious hotel, but it also marks a significant step in increasing energy efficiency and actively reducing the carbon footprint. 

On Thursday, the Soaltee Kathmandu and Gham Power jointly organised a press meet to discuss the topic, 'Making Greener Cities Together', to promote the adoption of solar power in commercial sectors. The focus was on strengthening the reliability of the national power grid, reducing carbon footprints, and replacing environmentally damaging alternatives like fossil fuel with cost-effective and stable energy solutions. 

The programme was attended by government officials, representatives from international and national financial institutions, renewable energy organisations, public and private companies, and other stakeholders. 

The successful completion of The Soaltee Kathmandu's solar project marks a milestone and signifies a promising future for sustainable energy in Nepal. This landmark initiative demonstrates the potential of collective action, innovation, and a shared commitment to a greener and more sustainable future. 

The solar panel installation is part of The Soaltee Kathmandu's Sustainability Project, which includes other initiatives to position the hotel as a leader in sustainability practices within the hospitality sector.
